Staten Island duo facing misdemeanor charges after alleged deli theft

A man and woman from Greenridge face misdemeanor charges after, cops say, they stole $300 cash from the register of an Annadale deli Sunday morning.

Police say Lisa Vitale, 45, opened the register and grabbed the cash at 1:10 a.m. while Joseph Augeri, 46, served as lookout at the deli, located at 878 Annadale Rd. Both defendants live on the 200 block of Woehrle Avenue.

Cops caught up with the duo at the intersection of Hylan Boulevard and Glover streets. Augeri had four small packets of heroin in his pocket at the time of his arrest, police allege.

Both face fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and petit larceny charges, while Augeri also faces one count of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
